This is a nice, high quality device. It is somewhat similar to some of Johnny Wong's coins, but I
don't think Johnny makes a quarter version. Anyway, even if you already have some of Johnny Wong's
stuff, I strongly recommend this because, first, it is a very nice gimmicked quarter which can be
used not only for this effect, but for so many more, and second, this isn't a bad effect itself.
This is one of those things you can carry around with you for an impromptu effect at any time.
Speaking of what to carry around, if you don't have "Torn 2 Pieces" by Shawn F.., that is also an
excellent item to keep in your wallet.

This is a trick that I'm using on a daily basis and it really amazes spectators. No skill required
but looks impossible. The bag is fully examinable and I switch the coin with a regular one in my
pocket while they are examining the bag. All the heat is on the bag however and no-one wants to
check the coins. As I live in Canada I'm actually using a Roy Kueppers Toonie and this has to be
handled slightly differently. It is a larger and thicker coin and so I have found that I have to
hold the bag at the spectators eye level for it to be perfect. I also have a Loonie but that is not
a perfectly round coin and so I think it is not the best choice. Definitely one of my best purchases
this year.

The plot to this trick is pretty simple, but dont' let that fool you. People are just amazed that a
coin passes through the bag! The key to this trick, I think, is the magician's force. You've got to
make it seem uncontrived. This is super easy to perform, technically.

Love the effect, can be used as a lead in to something else. Only down side is if you perform it
regularly you'll need to go online and order more bags. Comes with a 2 inch by 2 inch bag but I like
the 2inch by 3 inch tall one's myself, worth buying especially if your into close-up.

I wanted to Perform this trick several times before I wrote a review on it and I sure did perform it
and it didn't get get jaw dropping reactions that a 60 $ trick is supposed to get. Don't get me
wrong. Its a good effect but compared to others that are half the price of this one, makes it over
priced just to pull a coin out of a bag. And the trick is so not overwhelming that if you try to add
something on to the effect like trying to make it a part of a routine then what ever other effect/
trick you combine it with is just going to out shine this bag trick, making the spectator forget you
even perfored it and just remember the other trick you combined it with. You have to perform this
trick solo and maybe even have it as a "throw-a-way trick". But if you want a fail proof expensive
coin trick, this is it. Overall, this is a good fooler that will have spectators scratching their
heads wondering how did you just do that.

I have been into magic for 40 years and also had a magic shop for 12 years and I must say that
Bag4life is one of the best close up ticks I have ever seen. Don't pass this one up, you will not be
disappointed.
